drawing

My first ballpoint pen person. This was a lot more time consuming than I expected, but I'm glad I hung in there and finally finished it. The reference for the drawing was a Getty Image.

Just some random doodling in my Moleskine. It never gets old.

Timber was a recent A3 commission I was lucky enough to do. Drawn using 0.03 and 0.05 fineliners. I was sad to see this one go!

I have been working on this A3 double 'Pets in a Portrait' and I can't share the finished piece until after christmas as it will be a gift. I'm so chuffed with it, so heres some sneaky peaks that don't give too much away!

A4 portrait commission. Really enjoyed drawing Harry, the composition of this one was lovely.

Graphite and iron oxide from acid mine runoff on watercolor paper

A couple of winter tree drawings.

This was so enjoyable to do. Hand drawn using black 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 fine liners on A4 medium cartridge paper. 22.5 hours of work and made my eyes hurt!

Outside my drawing table window are straight and weeping birches. We lost one of the birch trucks and, tragically, a beautiful OLD Japanese maple during an ice storm a few years ago. The third trunk is still in my mind's eye.

I've been so impressed with the ball point pen art that I have seen on this site, that I decided to give it a try. This is a Betta fish (Siamese fighting fish) done in red, blue, and purple ball point pens. Obviously, I have much to learn....but it was great fun and I have ordered some more colors since I plan on experimenting more. I've enclosed a photo of the work in progress and the various reference photos I used. The colors are more true to the final scan than in the flash photo of my drawing table.

Drawn in PS, colored in Escape Motions Rebelle.

I came across these Sepia Fine Liners! Had so much fun experimenting with them. Looking forward to creating some more images with these.

The gorgeous Spot. Drawn using my trusty 0.03 and 0.05 fineliners on medium cartridge.

WIP. Pandemic self-portrait series. Portrait No2. There are always a couple of ways to look at a situation.

Draw series of pines at Hailuoto island. There is many beautifull pines. Not a tall but quite thick and hardy stubborn trees

Finished full version of an image I did in three parts, adding to it to create three separate images.

Gorgeous little Rupert the West Highland Terrier. He was drawn using black fine liners on A4. Love doing the animal portraits... I love it when their little eyes suddenly peep out the paper! Available as an A4 print.

Ink & watercolor on Arches cold pressed watercolor paper.

After heavy snowing small streams at Käylä rapid in Kuusamo looks a fascinating subject

Last work of my forest animal hides serie.

Holbein watercolors and Noodlers 41 Brown ink on 6"x8" Strathmore mixed-media paper. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 823 loaded with an extra-fine nib.

'Lucky' Such a beautiful face to draw...nearly done!

This guy's running up like "Hey man, you know... If you're not going to use that computer I'll take it because you know... You don't have to throw it to those robots, man. You know?" Just like that.

Doodling is what I do. It's a way to make visible the randomness that's in my head - just drawing out a concept right when it comes to mind and scribbling on whatever I can find.
